Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesC FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Texans for Price: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jadarian Price tumbling to the Texans in slot 106 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They are betting Virgil proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in the 38th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at pick No. 47 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick59 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
Taking Monroe Freeling in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
They barely believed it either: Lee Hunter still on the board at No. 69. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
A running back of that caliber at slot 106 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at Round 4, Pick 13 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil in pick 141 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jakobe Thomas
You do not let a safety like Jakobe Thomas reach the 167th pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Somehow Thaddeus Dixon was still sitting there in the 243rd pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
